Infrared Heating is HEATING LIKE THE SUN…!

Heating with radiation heating, also called infrared heating, offers you many advantages compared with convectional heating.

Why do we need heating?
When the outside temperatures drop, then so does the temperature in our home.
Therefore we need to heat our home during colder times.

Disadvantages of Convectional heating

The majority of the heating systems directly heat up the air in a room. The air goes through the heater and heats up. This is called “convection heating”.

Unfortunately, hot air always rises.

The higher the ceilings are, the more difficult it will be to heat up a room.

  • Waste of Energy…!
  • Dry air and dust that can cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
  • Low Comfort Level
  • It takes a lot of time to heat up a room

The solution: Infrared heating!

What is radiation heating? By long wave radiation heating, infrared waves are sent into the room in all directions, which, independent of air streams, warm up directly all the objects. That means that the furniture gets warm, but also the walls and the people that are in the room.

All the materials give the warmth back to the room and the air, what gives you a comfortable warm feeling. 

  • Waste of Energy…!
  • Dry air and dust that can cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
  • Low Comfort Level
  • It takes a lot of time to heat up a room

– Being outside on a terrace, at 18ºC with glorious sunshine is not that same as being on the same terrace at 18ºC without sun. The difference is a coat!
– It is a cloudy day. The clouds break and the sun shines through. We straight away notice the warmth even though the air temperature has not risen. These are the infrared waves that are directly warming us up.
– At ski resorts you can sunbathe naked despite the temperatures being below zero. The strong radiation of infrared waves from the sun and their reflection from the snow warms up our skin and therefore our body.

Part of the infrared waves emitted by the radiator is absorbed by the walls and the objects in the room. The other part is reflected. Therefore we do not only capture the infrared waves that come directly from the radiator, but also the rebound. This leads us to expeience a soft and enveloping heat and there are no air currents that could ruin it.

With traditional heating, the higher the ceilings are, the greater the difference there is between the temperature at the height of the ceiling and at floor level. It can reach 7ºC or more. The hot air under the ceiling is of no use to us and means a waste of energy and a high level of consumption. The higher the ceilings are, the more you save with infrared heating.

It depends on many factors:
– The height of the ceilings.
– Insulation.
– The amount of time that we are at home. When we are out for a long amount of time, we appreciate the fast heating up of the infrared system when we get home. It is not necessary to always have the house warm or to put the heating on hours before our arrival. That way, we only consume energy when we are present.
– Due to the fact that we can decrease the temperature about 2ºC without losing any degree of comfort, but rather on the contrary, we save energy. Each degree that we decrease the temperature means about 7% less energy consumption.
– The lack of air currents reduces the loss of heat on cold surfaces, like windows. Blocked air is a form of insulation, air that moves in a guide for heat. The material used for insulation is based on this principle.

On the contrary to what happens with the use of gas heaters, halogen heaters or quartz ones, braziers etc., materials like furniture, clothes or tablecloths cannot be burned in the event of contact with the infrared long wave panels.

The better well-being can be attributed to:
– The air that we breathe is fresher and it is not dry.
– We have warm feet and a cool head.
– A homogenous temperature in the whole room.
– The walls and objects around us have a higher temperature. This leads to less loss of body heat due to radiation. An adult emits approximately 100 watts of infrared radiation per hour.
If we are surrounded by cold mass (windows, walls, furniture) we will lose energy and we will need to turn up the thermostat. Increasing the temperature of the surfaces that are around us gives us the possibility to decrease the room temperature without losing any level of comfort, but rather the contrary. Furthermore, infrared waves that we trap with infrared radiators compensate that loss with an increase in our body heat.

The infrared waves penetrate the skin and heat up the muscles. The muscles relax. Think about medicinal infrared lamps. More and more of the Finish saunas are changing to infrared saunas. At rather low temperatures the effect of the infrared waves on our bodies are healthier.

Infrared heating improves the blood flow, especially under the skin and improves the absorption of oxygen by the skin. It accelerates the metabolism rate.

As the infrared panels do not create the circulation of air in the room it is still and there is no dust or allergenic particles from the floor that are moved around the room. The air is a few degrees cooler and it is not dry. People that suffer from respiratory problems in the winter should change their heating system to an infrared one.

The infrared waves directly heat up the walls and dry them. A dry wall heats up more easily and offers better insulation. That is why over the first few weeks after setting up the system an improved performance will be noticeable. Fungi cannot survive on a dry wall!.

Despite the panels turning off and starting up again with the use of the thermostat, hardly any change is noticed in the temperature as the inertia of the materials in the room work as a stabilizer. This is unlike the systems that heat up the air as the air hardly has mass and cools down straight away.

When changing our heating system to an infrared system, you will notice that the house maintains the temperature better, for example after turning the heating off over night.

The infrared panels do not make any noise. They do not blow as there are no parts that move.

The infrared waves are almost never lost through the windows.

In the pictures above (from the NASA) we have an optical view (in visible light, left) and an infrared view (right) of a person?s hand inside a plastic bag. In the picture in visible light, the hand cannot be seen. In the infrared picture, nevertheless, the heat of the hand can travel through the plastic bag and be seen with an infrared camera.
In the same way, the infrared waves of the heating can go through our clothes and warm us up.

There are some materials that can let the visible light through, but not infrared light. Look at the man’s glasses for example! Infrared light cannot travel through glass. Due to the fact that the man’s body heat cannot travel through his glasses, this is the reason why they appear dark.
In the same way, heat from infrared heating loses very little heat through the glass of windows, but the glass reflects it.

Emily R.

An infrared heating system is good when long infrared waves are emitted, well distributed, and when less convection is produced.
